SPRING POCKET CALENDARS: Prospect Bank agreed to provide spring pocket calendars as well. Stacy will coordinate with Gilman Star. The same format will be used for spring calendars as is used for fall calendars.

AD SALES DONATION: In the past, the ad sales donation has been $500. Marissa moved to approve giving a $500 donation to the football team. Cathy seconded. Motion passed.

WEIGHT ROOM: Mr. Dukes has been talking to a donor about a donation specifically for the weight room. If a donation is given, Mr. Dukes will come back to the booster club and ask them to match the donation. (May be $5,000.)

NEW BUSINESS

MS CROSS COUNTRY TIMER: Mr. Price asked if boosters would consider making a donation of the timer which includes print out information. He has been using Crescent City’s timer and it works well. The cost is $379. This is the first year for MS cross country and the sport had no start-up costs. The track team could use the timer as well. Melody moved to pay for the cost of the timer. Matt seconded. Motion passed.

PTT CONCESSIONS/Popcorn & Oil Use: Anne talked with PTT and told them they could use the popcorn and oil for a $15 approx. donation. They agreed to do so.

MS DANCE CONCESSIONS: Ms. Giles would like to use the concessions since it is already stocked on site and available. They won’t keep profit; it’s just handy for them to use. Boosters agreed to allow them to do so.

MS SHELVING UNIT: Ginger moved shelving unit from her room into concession. Anne replaced it with available vouchers that she had that were already approved and left over from the outdoor concession project. There was additional discussion on what else needs to be done. Ginger will mount “IW Booster” sign on back wall. Anne will bring more water to MS.

FALL SPORTS AWARDS NIGHT: Banquet will be Thursday, November 13 at 7pm. Anne will order cookies. Matt will pick up K&H cookies. Marissa will pick up from Hometown. Matt will take care of drinks. Anne will get table clothes, napkins, etc. Stacy and Jason will bring orange igloo cooler since two coolers are needed. Carneys, Clarks, Connors and anyone else who chooses to work will be welcome to do so.

WINTER SPORTS PROGRAMS: Question asked if any changes are needed to programs. Does 3pt club need to be added? There may not be room to add. Information on the 3pt club could be an insert, otherwise it is good-to-go.

CLOSE OUTSIDE CONCESSION STAND: Mark your calendars for 10/26 at 1pm to close the outdoor concession stand.

FUNDRAISER IDEAS: Several new fundraising ideas were suggested. There were favorable responses from the new ideas and boosters will continue to think through how best to implement. A new committee may be formed. Ginger will try implementing one of the ideas at a MS boys’ and girls’ games. Boosters were encouraged to think about these ideas and come back next month with which ideas we would like to pursue.

ROUND TABLE:

Comment made that the IW flag used in Mr. Raider should be used at more events. Mr. Dukes commented that the Spirit Club is up to about 80 students participating and they have plans to use it.

Comment made that the plaques have been mounted on the tables. Once others see the plaques, hopefully there will be additional donations for a second set of picnic tables.
